Popular Science has voted ‘Microsoft Security Grunt’ as the 6th worst job in science to have.
"Do you flinch when your inbox dings? The people manning
secure@microsoft .com receive approximately 100,000 dings a year, each
one a message that something in the Microsoft empire may have gone
terribly wrong. Teams of Microsoft Security Response Center employees
toil 365 days a year to fix the kinks in Windows, Internet Explorer,
Office and all the behemoth�s other products. It�s tedious work. Each
product can have multiple versions in multiple languages, and each
needs its own repairs (by one estimate, Explorer alone has 300
different configurations). Plus, to most hackers, crippling Microsoft
is the geek equivalent of taking down the Death Star, so the assault is
relentless. "
That is some funny shit right there 🙂
